1021The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1076Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1022searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1077match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1078key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1079defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1080C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1081themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1082this when this is a problem.
1083
1084The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1085find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1086looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1023omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1087the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1024keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1088value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).

1046 1105
1047The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1106If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1107then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1108terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1109string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1048 1110
1049 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1111 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1050 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1051 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1052 1112
1113This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1114

1053If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1117If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1054is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1118is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1119the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1120in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1121most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1062manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1130font-switching at runtime:
1063C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1064 1131
1065 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1066 1134
1067Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1135Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1068will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1136info):
1069no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1070means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1071definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1072mappings themselves.
1073 1137
1074Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1138 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1139 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1140
1141=item builtin:
1142
1143The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1144key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1145the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1146bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1147
1075if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1148For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1076C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1149@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1077user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1150"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1078 1151
1079 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1152 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>

1082The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1155The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1083of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1156of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1084C<Shift-Insert>. 1157C<Shift-Insert>.
1085 1158
1086The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1159=item builtin-string:
1087the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1088font-switching at runtime:
1089 1160
1090 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1161This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1091 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1162have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1163difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1164application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1165action for it.
1092 1166
1093Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1167An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1094info): 1168selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1169would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1170terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1095 1171
1096 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1172 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1097 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1173 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1174
1175The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1176combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1177C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1178
1179Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1180clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1181this:
1182
1183 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1184 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
